Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Circular Economy as it relates to the Waste Sector: Discussion.

11:00 am

Mr. Conor Walsh:

It is our understanding that in the vast majority of cases, people without a service choose not to have a service. There are mountainous roads where we cannot put a truck and there are certain places where a bridge is too tight. There are certain locations where a service cannot be provided and that would be the same if it was local authority provided. If the Senator has examples of any cases like that, she can tell me. I would be shocked if a person could not get service in Dublin. I find it shocking for somebody to say that. There are big lorries all over Dublin. How could a person not get a service? Could the Senator give us the details afterwards if she does not mind?
